“Kill Bill” actor Daryl Hannah used the Oscars stage on Sunday to throw up a peace sign as she shared a message of support for Ukraine.
“Slava Ukraine,” said Hannah, who shared a version of a notable rally cry (“Slava Ukraini”) that translates to “Glory to Ukraine,” while she presented the Best Film Editing category.
The Oscars crowd promptly applauded Hannah’s use of the phrase, which grew in popularity since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Her remarks arrived just days after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a meeting that saw Trump berate Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” and not showing thanks to the U.S. for its support of his country in its war with Russia.
Elsewhere during the ceremony, Oscars host Conan O’Brien went after Trump for cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Hannah, who is known for her activism, previously showed support for Ukraine in a social media following Russia’s invasion of the country.
″#Ukraine ???????????????????????? We see you We stand with you & All the victims of brutal dictators & senseless wars ✌????,” she wrote in 2022 alongside a clip of sunflowers.
